| Reverse description | A large square-rigged sailing ship is depicted at sea, viewed from the side, with a detailed hull showing the royal arms of England — quarterly France ancient and England — displayed on a shield at the centre of the vessel. The mast rises prominently, and the rigging is rendered with characteristic late medieval detail. The ship is set within a beaded inner circle, and the surrounding uncial Gothic legend reads O : CRVX : AVE : SPES : VNICA :, the well-known devotional phrase meaning 'Hail O Cross, our only hope,' separated by colon stops and running clockwise around the field. |
